(^ t was a welcome home celebration for the men and women
s_y who served in Operation Desert Storm. The Veteran's Memorial Day Parade, which was held on May 25-26 downtown, honored
the war veterans from all over Texas.
Thousands of men, women and children cheered and waved American flags in celebration of the men and women who finally came
home. The parade was a,way of letting the veterans know that we
appreciated their hard work and courage to make America "the land
of the free and the home of the brave."
The parade featured floats and military hardware. Some of the
veterans marched in the parade or sat on the floats and proudly
saluted our great country. -Kristyn Roberts
